5 Ways to MOVE More When WFH might just be the lifestyle upgrade your body’s been begging for. If you’ve been spending hours at your desk with little to no movement, you’re not alone—and you’re definitely not helping your health.
Have you done any MOVEMENT today or this week if you’re working from home (WFH)?
Sitting for long hours may feel productive, but your circulation is paying the price. Poor blood flow due to inactivity can lead to swollen ankles, varicose veins, and even increase your risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The scariest part? You might not even notice the damage until it’s too late.
🍊 Could you prevent this? Absolutely. These 5 x 1-minute Movement PLANS are designed to keep your body alert, energised, and pain-free—all without needing a gym or fancy equipment.
✅ 1. Move a Piece of Fruit 🍊
Yes, seriously! Place a piece of fruit—like an orange—on one side of your desk. Every hour, stand up and move it to the other side using only your feet or elbows. It’s fun, gets you moving, and breaks the monotony.
✅ 2. Side Lunges
Get out of your chair and do side lunges for a minute. This simple stretch opens your hips, strengthens your legs, and counteracts the stiffness of sitting.
✅ 3. Arm Circles
Stand tall and do forward and backward arm circles for 30 seconds each. This wakes up your shoulders, improves posture, and increases upper body mobility.
✅ 4. Toe Touch & Reach
Alternate between touching your toes and reaching for the sky. This movement engages your hamstrings, back, and improves spinal flexibility.
✅ 5. Wall Sit
Find a wall and slide down until your knees are at 90 degrees. Hold it for one minute. Your thighs, glutes, and core will thank you.
5 Ways to MOVE More When WFH doesn’t require a gym—it just takes intention, a timer, and the willingness to prioritise your wellbeing. If you WFH, it’s your responsibility to be your own movement motivator.
So, don’t just sit there—5 Ways to MOVE More When WFH is your call to action. Set your timer, get moving, and feel better every single day.
